"Seychellois islander Grace Barbé is the real deal and we are very proud of her continued success especially with the Western Australia Music Awards.", says AMG Chairman Mark S. Berry. "Grace's music reflects and celebrates the diverse and exotic cultural influences of her Indian Ocean heritage, intertwined with modern reggae, pop & soul. Tremendous influences that have helped her make her mark on her already distinct sound".

Her new album out the 1st of November to overwhelming critical praise is "Welele". Guy Morel, Grace Barbés manager says, "We are delighted at the promotion and marketing efforts of Deevel internationally and that combined with her world tours being put together have yielded many growth opportunities for Grace's music. Her 4th time a bat for the WAM awards is especially rewarding".

Following the release of her debut album "Kreol Daughter" in 2009, Grace has performed at many of Australia's leading music festivals, including Byron Bay Bluesfest and Woodford Folk Festival. Internationally, Grace has performed at the WOMAD in New Zealand, Sakifo Festival in La Reunion, Reggae Donnsa in Mauritius and Le Carnivale International de Victoria in her native Seychelles.
